Unless you're doing something odd, its javac which determines what is and isn't compiled, not ant. The only times I've seen javac behave as you describe are when your source code is not arranged in a directory structure which mirrors the package structure:
ie, class com.foo.bar.MyProg should be in com/foo/bar/MyProg.java
